abstract = "Shape optimization of an AFG Timoshenko cantilever beam of a variable cross-sectional
area, with a specified fundamental frequency, is considered. The cantilever beam has a finitedimensional
body placed eccentrically at the right end. Optimization is performed in terms of
beam mass minimization. Considerations involve the case of coupled axial and bending
oscillations, where contour conditions are the cause of coupling, which exist at the place of
junction between the cantilever beam and the body. The problem is solved applying Pontryagin’s
maximum principle, with the beam cross-sectional area being taken for control. The two-point
boundary value problem is obtained, and the shooting method is applied to solving it. The
property of self-adjoint systems is employed, where all costate variables are expressed by state
variables, which facilitates solving the appropriate differential equations. Also, the percent saving
of the beam mass is determined, achieved by using the cantilever beam of an optimum variable
square cross-section compared to the cantilever beam of a constant cross-section at specified
value of the fundamental frequency.",
